RE: DATACENTER: Rack mount LCD display w/ integrated keyboard/mouse?



I wish. :-) :-)

We're stuck with NT on this one.  These boxes will be mounted in communications
rooms/racks spread out over our campus.  There are no other hosts (or desk
space, for that matter) in the comm. rooms, just network switchgear and patch
panels.   I'm aware that IBM has been demo'ing such a configuration, however it
appears that they're not quite ready to sell one to me, based on it not
appearing on their website.  We're still exploring the IBM option, but I need a
Plan B.  

The Compaq option will have to be a last resort.  Our CIO bleeds blue, and we
caught hell the last time (years ago) we bought a Compaq box.

Thanks for all your help!
